That's a pretty far out phantom if I've ever seen one, looking at it closely.

Well, he used his words carefully there ...

GB: Every club takes their own talent flow to the draft and this is what I would have in front of me to work from if I was calling out players’ names for a club for season 2018.

This isn’t a phantom draft where I’m trying to predict where players will go on draft night, this is my personal talent flow, my top 50 prospects in order.

I like that he backs himself in.
BF groupthink takes over sometimes and players rated highly online are just so-so in the drafting world.

Top-ranked Croweater Darcy Fogarty playing for more than just himself

An article on Darcy Fogarty, the final bit is interesting:

The injury not only ended Fogarty’s season prematurely but meant he could not test at the AFL draft combine.

Instead he was one of four previously injured top draft hopefuls who ran a 2km time trial in front of recruiters at Etihad Stadium last Friday, including possible No. 1 pick Cameron Rayner.

Fogarty – understood to be on the radar of North Melbourne, Collingwood, St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs – ran the best time (7.33 seconds) of the quartet.

He says he is now “back to normal’’ and will be ready for the start of pre-season training with an AFL club.

While he has cut his teeth as a key forward, Fogarty views himself as a big-bodied, bullocking midfielder in the mould of Carlton’s Patrick Cripps.

“I like the contested stuff and think I can play in the middle of the ground and then go forward and have an impact,’’ he said.

I love the sound of him - a Stinger type that actually likes the tough stuff. Probably won't get past St Kilda's picks but would be very happy if we did snare him at 9.

Re: 2017 Draft Watch

I'm hoping we have the opportunity to draft Darcy Fogarty with our first pick and the other Fogarty with our 2nd pick. Let's corner the market on Fogarty's!

Another article on Coffield and his keenness to get to the Dogs.

Re: 2017 Draft Watch

Heard (off a decent source connected to the player's father) that Rayner has been advising clubs in interviews that we will move back to Vic after his first contract if he goes interstate. Not keen on anywhere but Vic and hopeful of sliding to Carlton - Freo apparently off him as a result. Could hopefully throw things around enough for a top player to slide through to us on draft night.

I'm keen on Coffield though - I like the romance of a doggies fan becoming a player.

BY rumor, St Kilda will ruin our party and take Coffield with another mid / slider (Cerra if he slips?) so we're a legitimate chance at Fogarty, depends on Collingwood really. They might take him ahead of Naughton / Murphy who they've been linked to.

He probably spends more time running at an opposition player than running away, big fan of a don't argue

Re: 2017 Draft Watch

Twomey's rumour-laden mock has us taking Naughton and Murphy.

I like the idea of Murphy (his ball use looks outstanding), really a bit meh on Naughton.

Collingwood can have Naughton, I too am not interested.

Re: 2017 Draft Watch

No to Naughton.

Sounds like Coffield is off to the saints. I hate them! All because they decided to throw the tigers game

Re: 2017 Draft Watch

any chance we could get Fogarty?
I would seriously love that.
